Can't create more than about 240 footnotes

Can't create more than about 240 footnotes

[Mike Bird]

I run out of space around the 240th footnote in a document.  It appears
that ConTeXt may be reloading or redefining a footnote font for each
footnote or footnote number.

Is this a known problem with a known solution?

Thanks,

No. This works fine here

\starttext
\dorecurse{500}
{\input knuth\footnote[note:\recurselevel]{this is a 
footnote}\endgraf}
\stoptext

Hi Aditya,

Thanks for checking.  I've been unable as yet to create a simple
test case.  It must be a combination of things.  I'll post a test
case when I have one.

Thanks,

I may be off the mark, but I would guess that the two errors are, in  
fact, unrelated. I have seen the error about "not enough room left"  
with some fonts that have very large kerning tables (such as Garamdon  
Premier Pro). The solution was to locate your texmf.cnf and augment  
the value of font_mem_size I have 1200000, but it can be up to  
4000000. Try that, and I hope that the footnote error will go away if  
ConTeXt is able to finish all needed runs. You can search for  
font_mem_size in the archives, and you'll see quite a few threads!
